I was myself, in their front most of the way, but able to effect nothing.' They have now passed over Roanoke into Virginia, where the joined enemy are greatly an overmatch for the Marquis ( La- Fa ette). His force is not only small! but he mentions in the letter of the 15th that he knows nothing of the Pennsylvania troops. j "The Virginia militia are for the present fresh. and spirited, 1 and I hope they will prove of great support to the Marquis. Our militia, especial ly of the lower parts, are good for: nothing. I congratulate you. sir, on your success against the enemy to the southward, their being compelled by the judicious methods yon took to abandon their strong, posts in the heart of the country. "The Marquis is very public spirit ed and disinterested. He wishes me to have much more at heart the re inforcing of you than himself. Great numbers have' taken protection on parole of Lord Cornwallis on his march through the country, and parties of robbers, commanded . by officers of his commissions are rang ing through the country committing murders, robberies and every species of enormity. ' Could you permit Gen. Sumner to remain a while to assist in punishing the guilty and in re covering Wifmlngton, It would be of the greatest consequence to this poor. distressed and wretched country.

Le Petit a French naturalist who wag sent by the Museum of Nat ural History In Paris to explore cer tain regions of central Afri-a, has made a -report to that Institution of the existence of a new species of ele phant It has been surmised for some time that certain of the lake regi-us were inhabited by enormous s"ini-aquatir animals, and It was partly to settle this qu-stIon that Le petit penetrated the Congo region where, n the north bank of Lake Leopold II, he was at last rewarded for bis pains. He learned from the natives that theac mysterious animals, though seldom ;seen, left tracks In the earth like those of no other quadruped, and that th'Te was a tradition that the lakes bad first been found by following this trail Given this clue Le IV i: divided his company Into bands of fite Individuals apiece and S'-nt them ta reconnoitre. Thy were rewarded on several occa sions by seeing these curious crea tures, once at a distance of f.tu metres. The trunks and ears of the water elephant are said to lie very short, but the neck is enormously out of proportion and measures much more than that of the land elephant. The height is but two metres. They are exceedingly agile, and It is not ' easy to hunt them for sev ral different reasons; tor one thing, they aceru to have a signal which suffices as a dangr warning to their tribe; then they make for the water with cat-like swiftness, and once therein swim rap idly, nothing appearing ou the aur-fa'-e but the head and the tip of. the trunk. " They quick y become lot to view, and the observer from land would have to be unusually alert to take aim, even If he were qui-otlc enough to suppose, that his ammuni tion would penetrate such totgh hid. -a The pewpeet that the water elephant will iravel with our circuses In future is not promising.
